Passaic City School District is a comprehensive community public school district located in Passaic, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district is one of 31 former Abbott districts statewide that were established pursuant to the decision by the New Jersey Supreme Court in Abbott v.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "A", the lowest of eight groupings.
